Governance

Curious about who guides the evolution of the learning technology ecosystem at UBC? Find out about the leadership and committees overseeing teaching with technology and what each group is responsible for.

Leadership

Overall accountability for learning technology rests with the Learning Technology Leadership Team, chaired by the Associate Provost, Academic Innovation, comprised of a small number of senior academic leaders and student representatives from both campuses, as well as the Academic Director of CTLT and CIO.

The Learning Technology Hub Leadership has oversight of operational activities, working closely with faculty, staff, and all learning technology committees and is chaired by the Academic Director of CTLT. The CIO and two senior staff from CTLT and UBC IT with oversight for learning technology operations are also members.

Committees

The Innovation Committee identifies opportunities for new learning technologies based on pedagogical research and consultations with peer institutions and colleagues at UBC and elsewhere. The committee recommends pedagogical priorities for UBC and technologies to pilot.

The User Committee identifies faculty and student needs, required improvements in user experience, and recommended priorities for filling functional gaps. The committee also advises on communication with faculty and students and change management strategies.

The Operations Committee consists of senior learning technology personnel in each of the Faculties, CTL, and representatives of CTLT and UBC IT. Members of this committee gather input from faculty and students, as well as from the other learning technology committees.
